Strategy? I'm at full level and criticizing like crazy, taming sickly villains
Chapter 160 Donglin County
Jiang Li couldn't see his expression, nor could he feel the complicated mood he had when he said these words.
She just looked at the moonlight in the distance, and suddenly felt a little calm inside.
She and Qin Jue were actually the same kind of people, bruised and bruised, unwilling to trust anyone.
So Qin Jue killed two missionaries in the beginning, so she didn't have any good intentions towards Qin Jue from the beginning.
But...if the two of them can try to trust and let themselves go, maybe...maybe they will find that the world is not that bad?
After a moment of silence, she softly said "hmm", moved her chin, and found a comfortable enough position on his shoulder.
"Then you will protect me from now on."
Under the bridge, Lan Yin watched the two people clinging to each other from a distance, as beautiful as a picture scroll.
She felt a little relieved... If they could really just be an ordinary couple, that would actually be pretty good.
The princess is suffering so much. If she has someone to rely on, she will be much more relaxed.
She thought that she should be nicer to Qin Jue in the future and truly treat him as his consort.
This night, everyone's mentality changed slightly amid the beautiful lies.
Little do they know that wrong trust is the real weapon that can destroy a person.
A long time later, when Jiang Li recalled this night, he would only have one feeling: People really can't make decisions at night.
Soon, Jiang Li and his party returned to the inn where they stayed.
Coincidentally, just after Jiang Li and the others left tonight, Jiang Peiyao's people came over.
It's just that without Jiang Li, the two people guarding the treasure didn't dare to make a decision in private.
So it wasn't until Jiang Li and the others came back that the two of them hurriedly told them the situation.
For convenience, the other party also settled directly in this inn.
Jiang Li then took Lan Yin directly to find him.
Let's talk to make sure there's no problem, and everything will be easy.
Jiang Li gave the boxes of treasure to the other party and asked them to escort them back to Donglin County.
She and Qin Jue checked out of the hotel directly, packed lightly and went to the city gate, waiting for dawn before leaving the city.
The treasures were given away, and there was no big thing to drag them down, so they left only one carriage. Jiang Li and Qin Jie rode in the carriage, and the rest all rode horses, so that the speed could be faster.
Fortunately, there were no complications while waiting to leave the city. Everything went smoothly. At dawn, the group of people left the city directly.
As for what will happen after Qionglou boss reports, it doesn't matter, everyone has left anyway.
After leaving the city, several people didn't know if the so-called killer was still there, so they simply didn't waste time and continued on their way according to the original plan. If an accident really happened, they would wait.
This was somewhat of a gamble, and everyone was somewhat worried. Only Qin Jue was the calmest.
Because he knew clearly that there would be no more assassinations.
Meng Yuanzhou will not take action again, and Qin Ze, because he has alerted the emperor, although he has not been directly investigated, must be more careful, and will not make any further moves at this juncture.
Jiang Li has never been a person who shows her emotions. Even if she is worried, she will not let anyone see it.
Qin Jue, on the other hand, said, "You don't seem worried at all. Are you sure there won't be any more assassinations?"
Qin Jue was not fooled, "I'm trying to imitate you and be a person who doesn't show my emotions."
"Jiang Li, aren't you my teacher? Then I can't just learn writing from you, right?"
Jiang Li said "Oh", smiled, held his chin with one hand, and hooked Qin Jue's chin with the other hand, "Then you have to open your eyes and study hard. There are still many things worth learning from my sister."
"elder sister?"
"Hey, that sounds pretty nice. Can you call me again?"
Qin Jue was just asking her about the title he gave her, but to his surprise, she recognized it shamelessly.
Of course, he wouldn't care about this with her. Instead, he found it a little cute to see her enjoying it.
After that night, the invisible barrier between the two quietly dissipated a little.
But it seems that it is only a little closer. When it comes to taking a step further, no one seems to be ready.
So they just kept a certain distance politely, and no one dared to advance.
However, after breaking away from the big team, their days on the road felt less boring.
They would occasionally stop to look at the scenery on the way, and they would be willing to talk and spend a few days exploring any lively city they went to.
Sleeping at night, Qin Jue and Jiang Li defaulted to being in the same room, but neither of them made any further moves, even though the invisible restriction was no longer there.
Walking around and having fun, half a month passed before I knew it.
Several people did not encounter assassination again, and the peace was calm and uneventful.
Then Jiang Li received news that the boxes of treasures had been transported to Donglin County a few days ago.
However, the gold and silver inside all had official seals. Once they were leaked out, they would definitely attract the attention of others, so Jiang Peiyao asked Jiang Li if he should melt them and recast them.
It's not easy to see the light of day, but it won't be a problem once it's done.
After all, they are all real money, they just need to be recast.
So after thinking for a while, Jiang Li nodded and agreed.
But don’t forget to explain in advance that things must be done properly and no hidden dangers should be left.
Jiang Peiyao was quite steady in her work, so she felt relieved that the matter was settled.
More than ten days passed, and Jiang Li received news again that the large army had arrived in Donglin County.
At least on the surface, Linglan's secrets haven't been revealed yet. She still lives in seclusion as Jiang Li and is cleaning up the house for them.
The Donglin Prince's Mansion in Donglin County was given by the emperor, but it was unoccupied before, so it was inevitably deserted.
It would be nice for Jiang Li and the others to arrive a little later, which would give Linglan and the others time to sort things out.
Jiang Li and the others wasted time because of detours and sightseeing, and finally entered Donglin County half a month after the arrival of the large army.
They gained nothing else along the way, but they got closer to each other.
Even Yu Chifeng, who came to monitor them, could tell that they were more sincere after spending time with them.
But it's only a few points. For people like him, nothing can be greater than imperial power.
In the end, Emperor Qing's orders still prevailed.
Jiang Li and others arrived at Donglin Prince's Mansion, and there was no need to cover up what had not happened before.
Jiang Li directly sent a message to the prefect of Donglin County, inviting him to visit his house tomorrow.
In fact, Chu Junyi, the prefect of Donglin County, had already arrived on the day the large force arrived, but neither Jiang Li nor Qin Jue were there at the time, so Linglan and the others naturally had to find an excuse to refuse.
Now that we are on someone else's territory, we still have to meet him when we should.
